France might bid on the 2024 Olympic Games

London — French president Francois Hollande is considering a bid for the 2024 Olympics after losing the 2012 Games to London.

Hollande is in London to meet with French athletes at the games. He says he would back a bid if "all the conditions of success are present."

France has ruled out a bid for the 2020 Olympics following Annecy's defeat for the 2018 Winter Games. Before losing to London, Paris failed to win the 2008 Games, which were awarded to Beijing.

Hollande did not mention a city, but France is expected to consider a bid from Paris for the 2024 Summer Games. That would coincide with the 100th anniversary of the 1924 Olympics in the French capital.
